He forgot my birthday.

So we've been dating for a year and a month. Started dating in Oct '17. Of course we exchanged basic details abt each other. So I mentioned my birthday was on 18th Dec. But he forgot... so he asked, "Babe, I know your birthday is in Dec, sorry, remind me the date, I forgot." Being under 2 months of dating, I let it slide... maybe he forgot for real. But, this year, he asked me the same question today. He still doesn't know my birthday, mind you, we celebrated his in July. Am I over reacting and being petty?.

@mrlee123,

Yes, you're being petty.

Next time, in November, say something like, for my birthday next month, what do you think of ___? And suggest an activity or a trip.

@mrlee123,

I feel like you've asked this question before.

It all sounds very familiar.

Is he great in every other way?

Some people are just plain old bad with dates. A gentle reminder next year might help. Yeah would it be nice if he was the type that was up on dates and surprised you--- of course. But if this seems to be his one flaw let him have it.

If your birthday is so important to you to be remembered - tell him a month before and explain that you really enjoy celebrating it - then remind him two weeks before and a week before that if needed.

I don't necessarily think it is petty or that he is a jerk - just everyone has things that are more important to them.

@cherrie,

It has been asked before, the date is the same. I remember because my dad's birthday is the same date.

He forgot my birthday.
